time in eternity

When you were as an angel in my arms,Had laid your bare head just below my chin,Your length pressed up to mine, entrusting charmsMy whole youth’s starward longing could not winWith still the murmur of your love in me,Miracle-tones of all my lifelong hope,I wished that there might start eternityAnd seal forever that sweet envelope;And as it did, my thoughts are now for youAs every star is blotted by the sun,And so the sun itselfHas perished too,And with it, every dream of minebut one.
